GENERAL INFO
-------------
     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  PMDFSHR.EXE or libpmdf.so to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other
  images as well.

     Patches may be obtained from the anonymous FTP account on
  ftp.pmdf.process.com.  Use FTP to connect to the host ftp.pmdf.process.com
  and login as the user anonymous.  Use your e-mail address as the login 
  password.

     Move to the pmdf_621_patches subdirectory:

        ftp> cd pmdf_621_patches

     Patches will be located in platform-specific sub-trees, as follows:

        Platform        Subdirectory
        --------        ------------
        OpenVMS         vms
        Solaris/SPARC   solaris-sparc
        Solaris/x86     solaris-x86
        Tru64           osf
	common unix	unix

     When FTPing images, be sure to FTP them as binary.  Before retrieving
  such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into binary
  mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.


Change history
---------------
11-JUL-2005
  Fixed a problem whereby when job controller debug logging was turned on,
  multiple processes were seen running the job_controller image and no mail was
  getting delivered.

11-JUL-2005
  Fixed a problem whereby the "pmdf run channel slave" or "pmdf submit
  channel slave" command ran the master program for the channel instead
  of the slave. (D/E 10035)


Installation
------------

UNIX [Tru64] [Solaris]

	Shut down PMDF.

	# pmdf shutdown

        To install the new image, place the image into /pmdf/bin
        and execute the following commands:

        # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/job_controller
        # chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/job_controller

	Start PMDF back up.

	# pmdf startup
